UNHRC urged to send fact-finding mission to Occupied Kashmir

In Occupied Kashmir, the unabated Indian state terrorism during the last twenty eight years has forced over thirty five thousand Kashmiris to live outside the territory as refugees.

A report released by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service on the occasion of World Refugee Day, today, revealed that over two million Kashmiri refugees are living in camps in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan and European countries since beginning of struggle for Kashmiris' birth right in 1947.

Meanwhile, Indian troops barged into houses in Shopian, Kulgam, Bandipora and Pampore areas and tortured inmates. They also damaged property to avenge celebrations by Kashmiri youth over Pakistan's historic victory against India in the ICC Champions Trophy.

The joint resistance leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in a statement issued in Srinagar said India's National Investigating Agency is being used as a war weapon to harass Hurriyet leaders.

Kashmiri representative, Syed Faiz Naqshbandi, while addressing the 35th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, urged the Council to send a fact-finding mission to occupied Kashmir to bring forth the real situation on ground in the territory.
